The Powered Sub for Your Mackie SRM Speaker System

The Mackie SRM1801 powered subwoofer was designed to be the perfect complement to a pair of Mackie SRM full-range PA speakers. When you utilize the 1000-watt SRM1801 along with a 400-watt powered speaker like the Mackie SRM450v2, you'll be able to take true 3-way sound with you quickly and easily, wherever you go. The custom-made 18-inch speaker inside delivers powerful and well-defined bass. Onboard active electronics ensure that your sound remains clear at any volume. And for its power rating, the Mackie SRM1801 is also astoundingly light and portable. It is a joy to gig with a subwoofer you can depend on!

Distinct Design for Tight, Well-Defined Sound

The Mackie SRM1801 uses a distinctive ported bass reflex design, which yields a particularly tight low end. The amplifier onboard is a proprietary Class-D Fast Recovery unit, delivering 1000 watts of power with considerably less heat gain and signal distortion. Additionally, the SRM1801 is extremely lightweight for its power and easy to move around, weighing in at under 75 pounds.

Solid Connections and Useful Features

The SRM1801 is ready to fit neatly into your rig. It comes with 2 x XLR inputs for running mono or stereo lines. It has both full-range and high-pass stereo outputs onboard so you can connect effortlessly with your full-range top boxes. A handy polarity switch helps offset any phase discrepancies that might arise with the satellite speakers.

Mackie's Famous Active Electronics

The SRM1801 benefits from built-in active electronics specifically designed to provide tonal monitoring and stability for the 18-inch speaker inside. The onboard system utilizes a precision crossover for totally even sound, and tuning filters for accurate frequency response.

Well-Built and Ready for Full-Range Applications

The Mackie SRM1801 is made of rigid plywood to ensure its durability. The cabinet comes with an integrated pole-cup that will fit any standard mounting pole for sub-sat applications.

Product Description

The Mackie SRM1801 18-inch Powered Subwoofer delivers powerful, chest-thumping lows, perfect for your SRM450v2 PA system. The SRM1801 has a ported bass reflex design that produces tight low end. And the lightweight, ultra-efficient Class-D Fast Recovery(tm) power amplifier delivers 1000W peak power with less risk of thermal overload. This makes the sub extremely lightweight and portable, without compromising the power and performance that you need. It's the first ever 18" subwoofer specifically designed for use with the best-selling SRM450v2--add some serious low end to your portable PA with the SRM1801.

Shake the Room

What does 1000W of peak power mean to you? It means having a subwoofer that delivers rump-shaking bass night after night. It means getting class-leading power and output. To accomplish this, the SRM1801 features Class-D Fast Recovery amplification. Class-D amps are more efficient and lightweight, with far less waste heat produced versus competing designs. Fast Recovery means you can occasionally push into clipping without a ton of nasty distortion. So, power is no problem... but how does it sound? The SRM1801 benefits from built-in Active electronics, like a precision crossover and tuning filters for accurate bass response. Some subwoofers have decent power, but when you listen, everything sounds loose and flabby. The SRM1801 delivers professional low end that you can feel...custom tuned to be tight and punchy.

System Friendly

Paired with a Mackie SRM450v2, you have a complete (and completely affordable) "plug and play" system that is ideal for small clubs, DJs or rehearsal spaces. The SRM1801 has both full-range and high-pass stereo outputs for connection to full-range top boxes. Just dial in the appropriate level and use the polarity switch to make sure the sub is in phase with the top boxes. The integrated pole-cup can accommodate a standard mounting pole, so your favorite speaker has a nice place to sit. Or you can just stack your full-range box right on top... the SRM1801 ain't picky. It's also a great match for the popular Mackie TH-15A and can easily integrate into nearly any existing PA setup you may have

The Complete Package

If you are looking into getting a subwoofer, than you probably have the following criteria in mind: You need as much power as possible. Well, the SRM1801 offers class-leading power in its price range. You need it to go low...body vibrating low. The SRM1801 has a high-output 18-inch woofer that can be felt from across the room. It's got to be easy to move and built to last. The SRM1801 incorporates features that make it lighter and more portable than the competition.

"SRM1801's"

Overall:
I bought a pair of these used and saved about $300 from what I would have paid new. Mistake. I used them for 3 shows and had to replace the power supply on one of them, and there went my $300 savings and now I have no warentee. When they work, they do the job really good. Unfortunatly, they do not hold up as well as the older mackies did. I used the powered 808 mixers and almost never had problems for 10 years or more. The SRM 450's and the old 1501's, same deal. The were almost never in for repair. The guy at the repair center says now, the new srm mackies are breaking down a lot. I just got pair of HD1521's and it seems like the HD edition of the new mackies is where they are trying to land them as the industry standards. I am thinking about selling these subs, and trying the HD1801's. The reviews seem better and at least I will have a warentee. They are good speakers when they work, but consider buying them used.
